Question about this card:

If I take control of a Minion, but later in the game an attachment, like "Lost" Child, takes control of Karma. Do I lose control of the minion because she gets blanked, or that effect already triggered and that minion remains under my control?

I believe it´s correct the first outcome, but my frinds made me doubt about it.

Does this card protect Colossus from piercing attacks? I mean, piercing discards all your tough status when the attack begins. Can I use this in response to that to regain one of the toughs before the attack resolves?

RULES QUESTION: Does Retaliate work with this card?

Thanks, it is for a new Captain America deck I am brewing.

I am not stalling for characters. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

This cards is pretty strong.

The only real target cards I can think of for Plot Convenience would be: a) Mulligan - store a couple of those for opportune flip and draws or b) resource cards - specifically if you're needing to squirrel away specific resource types for power plays. The downside is the cost of two to have merely a placeholder of cards that you'll still need to pay for later (except for resource cards).

Innate double resources are always nice, it just would've been nice if it had a secondary effect when spent or drawn via his hero ability, such as drawing a card. Technically it gives him action boosts but that's dependent on having the upgrade out, otherwise it's just a plain ol' double, nothing fancy to speak of.
